That was fun, mostly. It was heavy handed, but we've had two instances in two episodes where Hank has basically said "Listen to my experiences, I'm right!", firstly about how his race was wiped out, and then the two-pronged point about being an alien in hiding and one who hides as a black man. Still no one listens to

That was so much fun, and such a great group of characters to introduce. For the most part they felt lived in already, especially Steel and Vixen. The new Vixen has 1000x the chemistry with Ray than Ray and Kendra had. And no where near as rushed as last week's two-parter crammed into a single episode.

"For a second there, I legitimately thought that Russian mom was glad Bratva had killed her son. I’m prepared to believe Russians are that metal. Glad to be wrong though!"

Don't usually do this, but I actually watched this episode twice in a row. It was that good. Holt was magnificent, and there's something about Rosa smiling, even for a second when she rolled her eyes at Amy, that just lights up a room. We see Rosa either too cool for school, or dour/unhappy. It's those rare glimpses

Anyway, what I was actually going to say about this episode before I realised that we're stuck with Oliver "Straight White people are the devil" Sava for another season is…

Oh, Sava, it has been too long. That paragraph of pure claptrap in your Stray Observation section makes me laugh with joy at its wrong-headed inanity (not to mention the continued use of the inherently racist term "of colour") whilst simultaneously weep for mankind at the thought there are more people like you out

"Speaking of which, between Lena and Teshmacher that’s two more white women added to a cast filled with white women," said the reviewer, showing how she regards what you are as being more important than who you are, completely missing the entire point of Kara's journey in this episode.

"My Lunch" is just a painful episode to watch. That show knew how to tug at the heartstrings.

"I’m not going to hide my glee that the sole white character in Luke Cage is a corrupt cop."

We're in Russia. We're —-finally—- in Russia. I've been waiting years for this, and it's finally happening. Plus when the flashbacks inform on the present, like they did in Seasons 1 and 2, is when they are at their best, so the dislocating thumb trick (ouch!) was a good and very simple way of doing that. More of this

I thought this was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Nonsense. He'll be waterboarding them in the Rose Garden by the 6th episode! :P

So… not actually Ghost Rider, but the cheap knock-off version Ghost Driver, 'cause Marvel Studios won't let AoS have any real toys.

"Ramsay’s evil is not escalated by his killing of Rickon: I’ve long been desensitized to Ramsay’s acts of torture and murder, and this just felt like more of the same."

That episode was amazing. That speech at the end was phenomenal. I love how the number came up because Finch is the perpetrator, and the ultimate perpetrator at that. And Root's opening monologue in episode 1 of this season isn't Root! How trippy is that.

I particularly like the way the reviewer confuses "opinions" with "declarative statements of facts".

I was expecting Malcolm to take over HIVE at the end. Guess not.

My apologies. I'll use the non-pejorative version:

Or maybe, and this is a totally wild theory but you'll just have to go along with me for a moment, the streaming services create their viewing libraries based on - wait for it - the demographics of their subscribers.

It's relevant because when you're a raging nutcase SJW you need to boil everything down to race/gender (otherwise you basically have nothing to say) and because it allows you to discount anyone who is is white/straight from having an opinion.
